Product details
Overview
TLD8S11AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-218AB package, rated for 11.0 V working stand-off voltage, 12.2–13.5 V breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 18.2 V clamping voltage at 363 A peak impulse current, and 6600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), designed for automotive load dump surge protection in 12 V/24 V battery systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLD8S11AH datasheet, TLD8S11AH pinout, TLD8S11AH application, or TLD8S11AH equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under high-current surge, junction temperature capability up to 175 °C, compliance with ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2, and DO-218AB mechanical robustness for under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
The TLD8S11AH employs junction passivation optimized design technology to sustain 175 °C junction temperature operation, meeting AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive reliability. Its unidirectional configuration provides asymmetric conduction-low forward voltage (≤1.8 V at 100 A) and high reverse blocking (≤10 µA leakage at 11.0 V).
It delivers 6600 W non-repetitive peak impulse power with 10/1000 µs waveform and 5200 W with 10/10000 µs waveform, supported by 0.8 °C/W junction-to-case thermal resistance when mounted on an ideal heatsink-enabling effective thermal management during transient events like load dump.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TLD8S11AH under maximum surge current?
The TLD8S11AH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 18.2 V when subjected to its rated peak impulse current of 363 A with a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and ensures downstream circuitry remains within safe operating limits during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a load dump events. The TLD8S11AH maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range due to its low temperature coefficient of VBR (0.072 %/°C).
Is the TLD8S11AH qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the TLD8S11AH is AEC-Q101 qualified and meets ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2 surge immunity standards for automotive applications. It supports junction temperatures up to 175 °C and passes JESD 201 Class 2 whisker testing, confirming suitability for under-hood deployment. The TLD8S11AH is explicitly intended for automotive load dump protection per Taiwan Semiconductor's product documentation.
What package type does the TLD8S11AH use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The TLD8S11AH uses the DO-218AB surface-mount package, defined per JEDEC standards with UL 94V-0 flammability rating. Key mechanical features include matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability, polarity indicated by cathode band, and weight of approximately 2.691 g. The package supports automated pick-and-place and reflow assembly, and its thermal resistance (RθJC = 0.8 °C/W) enables effective heatsinking in high-power surge scenarios.
How does the TLD8S11AH differ from bidirectional variants like TLD8S11CAH?
The TLD8S11AH is unidirectional, providing low forward voltage (≤1.8 V at 100 A) and reverse blocking up to 11.0 V, making it ideal for DC power rail protection. In contrast, TLD8S11CAH is bidirectional and symmetrical-suitable for AC signal lines or differential bus protection-but exhibits higher leakage and lacks forward conduction capability. Both share identical VBR, VC, and PPPM ratings, but their circuit roles and placement topology differ fundamentally.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation of the TLD8S11AH?
The TLD8S11AH has a steady-state power dissipation (PD) rating of 8 W at TA = 25 °C, as specified in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. This value applies under continuous DC or low-frequency conditions-not transient surge events-and must be thermally managed via PCB copper area or heatsinking. Derating is required above 25 °C ambient, following the power derating curve in Figure 1 of the official datasheet for the TLD8S11AH.
